Damn, y'all start the planning -early-

Maybe I'll be able to get out to this one. Will have to see.

[citizensoldier]

Where is it going to be?

[Whiskey]

If you guys need help with first aid classes, thats my lane. I can also provide some training aids (TQ's, ETB's and such). Let me know if I can be of assistance, Im hoping to make this my first ZombieCon.

[anungunrama]

i'm hoping that i and a few other people from Vegas can make it out to this one

[Doctor Jest]

Yeah!!

I'll start my planning now.

[Launchteam1]

I guess I'm the lucky one today- it's only 300 miles from me!

[TheLastRifleMan]

Wish I could...those dates are really bad for me.

Someday, perhaps...

[Doctor Jest]

Well, as long as we don't get so much snow here in PA that more than two weeks of school gets postponed, I should be okay.

Though the Farmer's Almanac is calling for a rough winter, I hear. At least this year I have a snowblower, which I bought after last February's "snowmageddon."

And hopefully by next June the truck will be fully operational.

[oldsoldier]

I would like to make this, depending on where its held-I am assuming same place as last year? Its a long way away for me to plan, but, we will see. It looks like a good time though!!!

[Jeriah]

Where is it going to be?

CS

Presumably same place it's always been: private property near Irondale, MO.

Steph and I will be there unless our lives take some kind of unexpected turn.

My goals for this year are to bring a damned hammock instead of a tent, and to actually shoot in all the competitions at range day instead of forgetting about one of them.

Also to do that damned hike up the mountain which I've missed/slept through/wussed out of both years so far.

[citizensoldier]

Cool. I am new to all this.

CS

[DarkAxel]

I really want to make it out there next year. And seeing as how my birthday falls on June 22, it would be an awesome B-day present!!! (I'm already dropping hints )

Since I live in KY, the commute shouldn't be too bad.

[Seanwins]

I really want to attend, but it's a hell of a trip from Washington State. How does it work for people who fly in? Are they renting cars and getting hotels for dates around Z Con or can they get picked up from, and taken back to the airport?

Some have rented cars but most of gotten rides from local ZSers. If you give us plenty of notice with your flight info we can get you the hook up.

I am in the same boat, but flying from the other side of the country. Pending time off & funds though, I am there.

Kyle works for Santa Claus. He knows everything about you. Don't make him mad.

[Sckitzo]

If I get more then 30days of terminal leave I may be able to finally make ones of these!

[Jeriah]

Would anyone be interested in my doing a seminar on field observation and sketching? I could teach a couple of basic drawing techniques like contour, gesture, cross contour, and perspective, and apply them to some survival situations like:

Draw the snake that bit you
Draw the plant you ate (whether it was good or made you sick)
Draw the foreign tank that's in your city
Draw the crazy monster that's running down the street
Make a spatially-accurate diagram of a building
Figure drawing in Manbath

Also, maybe Steph could do a photo seminar, and I've got some suggestions to run by Pete for range day. (Timed 1-5 drills, anyone?)

[DarkAxel]

I've learned quite a bit about woodworking/carpentry/cabinetmaking in the last three years and I am more than willing to share what I have learned. I've also done roofing (shingle, metal, and natural materials), flooring, and the basics of the sawyer's trade (My boss jokes that we are men of many hats, and we will be doing liver transplants before long ).

I also know quite a bit about farming (animal and plant) and I am more than willing to teach.

My long-term calender is cleared for Z-CON 2011, so if there is any interest in my particular skills, I'd be thrilled to host a seminar on them, along with input or help from others with XP in those fields.

I put up some info for those that are interested in hosting a seminar here:
Hosting a Seminar @ Zombie Con VI (2011)

Let me know if you have any questions.

[drewder]

Dude, I am so in. This year I plan on coming down early and staying the whole time. Maybe this time I will actually make it to range day.

[Grendel]

I am already slotting vacation time for this so I don't miss out this year. No wife in school to stop me either this time around. I will definitely have my early registration in as I'm all about the bargain. We need to line up who has the largest vehicles so we can car pool / caravan it down the highways. I have visions of the roaming gangs from the Mad Max movies.
